A/N: Sorry it took so long, it's the holidays people. Also, thank you for all the wonderful, (and not so wonderful) reviews. Now please read.


After the incident in the lunch room, Sakura decided to lay low. And she already laid low, lower than low. She was grateful for Gaara's help. And before she could show her appreciation, he had snapped. So, doing an act so unlike herself, she snapped back. Teeth and all. Calling him a jerk. He was probably just being protective of himself. He was new after all. It was survival of the fittest, a dog eat dog world or however those quotes go.

She was in hiding. Taking the back hallways, the long ways to class. Staying in the hall longer than need be, just to avoid one person. She didn't want to see him, scared of what he might say to hurt her again. But, she silently knew she was lying to herself. Because something inside told her everything would be okay. Only when he was in her presence. And Sakura knew she shouldn't be dwelling on those things. She didn't know him. But the thoughts and feelings were still there, lingering. And it scared her.

Sakura slowly walked down a vacant corridor. Listening to her sneakers squeak at each and every step she made. Like a rat scurrying away from an attack. For a moment she would have swore she heard another set of footsteps. No one seemed to be in front of her, so it had to be coming from behind. Looking back, she saw nothing, not a soul in sight. Deciding to brush it off as nothing, she began to walk again. And ran head first into a firm, yet warm chest. Looking up, Sakura came face to face with the real person she didn't want to see. Uchiha Sasuke. In the words of Gaara, "the princess".

"Miss me?" The Uchiha asked with a smirk never leaving his angelic face.

Sakura backed up out of fear. Anticipating her movements, Sasuke took a calm step forward. This game went on for a while, until Sakura's small form collided with the cold metal of lockers. She was trapped with no where to go. He placed his hands on either side of her face. Shielding her body with his own, successfully blocking her only escape. Sakura's eyes darted around frantically. Searching desperately for a way out.

Sasuke bent his head down and whispered in her ear, "There's no where to run." To make a point of this, his nibbled on her ear slightly. At this she thrashed around wildly. Trying to pry herself lose, to no prevail. He was just to strong.

"Your friend isn't here to save you." He whispered in her ear again. "I always get what I want. And what I want is you!" His voice was luring. A hint of pleasurable things to come. He spun a web a seduction and waited for his catch. Knowing it wouldn't be long. But, she wouldn't be sucked in his web of lies, not again. She had witnessed with her own eyes what Sasuke had done to his girlfriends, her being one of them. It wasn't a very pretty sight.

The trembling girl couldn't understand what others saw in him. What she had saw in him. All he really was, was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Again, what did people see in him? He was nothing special. Okay, good looks, and hair to die for. That wasn't everything. She scanned his face, looking for an answer, any answer. And finding none.

Feeling big hands squeeze her shoulders almost painfully she came back to reality. One rough hand grabbed her jaw, forcing her head up. "Look at me!" He demanded harshly. She complied.

"That's better. Now, you didn't answer my question. Did you miss me?"

"No!" Saturate said harshly, giving him the nastiest glare she could muster, given her position.

"Your only lying to yourself. I know how you think." With that said, the Uchiha poked her forehead lightly.

"That was than, this is now!" She replied with gritted teeth.

"Oh well, I always get," He stopped, eyes roaming her face. Not wanting to miss her expression. "what I want." He searched her face again. Finding rosy cheeks, a small nose, and finally coming across pink bubble gum lips.

"No you-" Sakura was stopped by a pair of lips slamming down on her own. The shock from it all leaving her breathless. At the moment of contact, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly. Giving free admission to the mouth in front of her. Not one to object, Sasuke took the invite and deepened the kiss.

Why was he kissing her? She didn't want this, didn't want him. But she had no idea what she was going to do. She couldn't just let him take what he wanted. Doing the first thing she could think of she bit down, hard. Sasuke roughly moved away, spitting out blood as he went. A wicked smile formed on his lips.

"Always knew you liked it rough." He commented sadistically.

Ignoring the metallic taste in her mouth clearly angry she said, "Go, to hell."

"Such harsh language coming from a pretty girl." Someone said from behind Sasuke.

"Gaara?" Sakura whispered.


Ino, a girl with long blonde hair put in a ponytail at the top of her head walked down one of the many school hallways. She was going to be late for class. She would have been there already if it hadn't been for her 'Sasuke-kun' not being there too. She knew he was at school. Her being one of his loyal fangirls and all. Not knowing where he was, (she must always know), she went to search for him.

She had been walking for quite some time when she heard voices ahead of her. She hid behind a corner of another hallway. Not wanting to be caught, she wasn't the gossip queen for nothing you know. Ino quietly peeked her head around the corner, and what she saw made her dizzy and want to faint. Because right before her eyes was her 'Sasuke-kun' making out with that quiet Sakura person. And did she mention it was in the middle of the hallway?

Not staying long enough to actually comprehend what was really going on, she ran. Ran away as fast as she could to tell the rest of Sasuke's fangirls the disturbing news.


Something was wrong, very wrong. Gaara could feel it. Sakura wasn't in class. They had the same classes didn't they? Or at least that is what she had implied. Maybe he had been to mean back in lunch. Giving her the brush off and all. And she was now in the bathroom crying her eyes out. He didn't really care. But why did it hurt him so much to think about it?

He now occupied a desk in the back of the room. He sat back in his set lazily, with his eyes closed. Silently thinking. At the start of class, he was forced to tell the students his name. That had been at least 30 minuets ago. He could hear the slight chatter going in around the room, most of the topics about him. Or the princess. He cringed at the thought.

A loud clang sounding like a door being knocked off its hinges made Gaara look up in surprise. A blonde girl had ran into the room, looking as if she had scene a ghost. What was her problem? She loudly told the teacher she was sorry, and made her way to her desk. Which was surrounded by many other girls, and some guys. 'Must be one of the populars.' Gaara thought.

"Sasuke is in the hall making out with that pink haired girl, what's her name!" Ino whispered loudly. Wanting the whole class to here.

Pink hair. Sakura had pink hair. Maybe? It couldn't be her. Remembering what had happened earlier that day, Gaara's blood boiled. 'Sakura, you seem to find yourself in trouble a lot don't you!'

"Sakura?" A boy with blonde hair joined in.

"Yeah that's," Before she could finish a red flash crossed her line of vision, and out the door. "her name."

"What's his problem?" Another girl asked behind the blonde girl.


A/N: Oh, poor Sakura, Gaara will save you, or he might not be able to. You never know. Whats going to happen:-D Love you all. Thanks so much for the reviews. They keep me sane. Now please RAR. And if you want to flame, feel free to.
